Chargeback Module Following are the features of the chargeback module: Flexibility Provides fixed costs, one-time costs, allocation costs, usage costs, and a combination of all, based on the organizational requirements. Reusable Cost Models Assigns cost models to VMs using standardized cost models or templates. These templates are used to apply cost models to new environments quickly. Reporting Generates various summary and comparison reports of costs and resource usage for the virtual infrastructure. These reports are exported to PDF, CSV, and XLS formats and allows you to view them within a web browser. Top 5 Reports Monitors the top five reports for organizations or groups with the highest VM cost, CPU, memory, storage and network costs. Dashboard Monitors and analyzes VM metering information and chargeback in real time with the built-in dashboard and extensive set of graphical widgets. Cisco Confidential 18
